It is possible, I'd say quite easily too.

There is a guy in the states who has reverse engineered the OE ecu to accomodate various outputs using the free'd up solenoids that no longer in use. Using one of these outputs you can activate the water injection by throttle %/rpm, etc.

But obviously for a given setup you would rather spend money in the head flowing before trying to play with this, unless your turbo where the gains are straigthforward.
Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

Not worth it unless you are:

- trying to run significant boost on pump fuel
- are running quite high compression (over 13:1), again, on pump fuel

E85 is a better proposition.
